People breaking their fast during Ramadan?
Some sects say that you have to fast after some day after Ramadan instead of the day that you broke fasting. Some sects say that you have to fast for 61 days (60 for the punishment, 1 for the day that you broke fasting) after Ramadan.
Do Muslims fast on the weekends during Ramadan?
I'm not quite sure what you mean, when one fasts, they fast for ONE day.
Usually, one would wake up before sunrise, have breakfast, and then not eat or drink anything for the entire day until sunset of the SAME DAY.
For example, I'll wake up before sunrise, around 5 AM, have a big breakfast on a Saturday morning. Then not eat/drink for the whole Saturday. Then, at say sunset is at 7 PM, at that time I'll break my fast by having a meal.
There is no connection between days. If I start fasting on Saturday, I end my fast on Saturday. I would fast again on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday etc. in the same manner.

How do you wish a Muslim after Ramadan?
Fasting is primarily the act of willingly abstaining from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time. A fast may be total or partial concerning that from which one fasts, and may be prolonged or intermittent as to the period of fasting. Fasting practices may preclude sexual activity as well as food, in addition to refraining from eating certain types or groups of foods; for example, one might refrain from eating meat. A complete fast in its traditional definition is abstinence of all food and liquids except for water. Fasting for religious and spiritual reasons has been a part of human custom since pre-history. It is mentioned in the Bible, in both the Old Testament (the Tanach) and New Testament, the Qur'an, the Mahabharata, and the Upanishads. Fasting is also practiced in many other religious traditions and spiritual practices. Fasting is also used in a medical context to refer to the state achieved after digestion of a meal. A number of metabolic adjustments occur during fasting and many medical diagnostic tests are standardized for fasting conditions. For most medical purposes a person is assumed to be fasting after 8-12 hours. A diagnostic fast refers to prolonged fasting (from 8-72 hours depending on age) conducted under medical observation for investigation of a problem, usually hypoglycemia. Fasting has occasionally been recommended as a therapeutic intervention by physicians of many cultures, though it is uncommonly resorted to for this purpose by modern doctors. From wikipedia, Break fast, is a meal right after The Fast. So when they say "breaking the fast" they're talking about break fast. Not to be confused with breakfast.
Second Answer:
When a Muslim is about to break fast which is done as soon as the Azan ( call to prayer is announced) a Muslim first says:
"Bismillah Ar'Rah'man Ar'Ra'heem"
(meaning:
"In the name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful."
With this we remember God is our creator, and the steps we take in life on a daily basis starts with remembering God always.
Immediately after, we say a 'Dua' (Supplication) of our intention to break fast at the time accordingly to what is right:
"O my Allah, for Thee, I fast, and with the food Thou gives me I break the fast, and I rely on Thee."
Of course, both are said in Arabic and are translated here in order to understand.
Then we proceed to eat.
